Everton youngster Mackenzie Hunt has put pen-to-paper on a new one-year contract with the club, keeping him at Finch Farm until the end of June 2023.
The 20-year-old has fought back from an ankle problem suffered in 2019 to show glimpses of his potential over the last couple of campaigns. His last week has been spent in Majorca with fitness trainers and physiotherapists to prepare him for the new season, a decision which he made off his own back.
Now the versatile youngster, who played in central midfield and on the left flank in his 10 appearances for the under-23s last season, is fully focused on the term ahead to make sure he is fit and ready to perform. And he's excited to learn under new under-21s manager Paul Tait once again, having teamed up with the coach in their respective spells for the under-18s.
